Erratum: Where you read 'onomatopepic, please, read 'onomatopeic' and where you read 'mail', please, read 'male'.

This little black bird is called 'tisil' or 'tizil' and there are black and brown as a sperrel, but a bit small than sperrel, in general the brown is female. The name is an onomatopepic name because they sing as this sound and maybe the mail jumps to enchant the female. Scientific name: Volatinia jacarina.

In the Pantenal, I saw a Kingfisher. I'm sure he was at least part blue. Can you tell me the name of the bird?

I am trying to identify a little black bird rather like a sparrow which has a distinct 4-note call and then it jumps vertically up to a foot in the air! It does this from a telephone wire, fence or tree, and continues for hours! I call it the Brazilian jump-up-and-down bird and have a short film clip and would love to know the proper name?! Many thanks in advance

Dear M. Its difficult to know what kind of bird that could be. I need to know a little more for example, was it near water, how big it was, wat kind of colors. Maby a Motmot? best regards from Ed Agter

Saw a bird in Manaus Brazil with a long long tail that split in two parts when it flew. What would the name if that bird be. I didn't see it on your pictures.
